Depending on the window manager you use -- I think KDE is able to be 
locked down a bit...  I would suggest looking at the specific 
documentation for the desktop manager you use.  (Gnome, KDE, etc)

Don't smack me -- but, "Change the passwords to something that other 
users don't know" comes to mind...  :)

Seriously though, users should not be able to log in as each other anyway...
